I am the owner of this 911 and I am thrilled beyond belief! Rasky does amazingly good work. The color is called Midnight Blue metallic and it has a Sea Blue interior. I've only owned blue colored cars since 1983 and this one just called out to me. I picked it up last May from a large Porsche...

My Audi has a direct injected engine that emits a ton of carbon so my exhaust tips are always stained. I'm not a pro but I've had the best luck with Optimum Metal Polish:Optimum Metal Polish, chrome polish, wheel polish, aluminum polish, motorcycle polish, how to polish metal

I run my black Sea-Doo in the salt water and a couple coats of Collinite Fleetwax will dramatically reduce the formation of water spots. To top the finish and remove spots I use Boat Bling "Hot Sauce". It's available on Overton's web site.

I have a question about the difficulty of correcting the paint. I have a '08 A3 that the paint is quite damaged on and looks like this car. My detailer has done some work but to go further will require a bit of work. As a professional detailer how would you rate the ease of working on this...

I drove a 458 and had the exact same thrilling experience. The sound alone of this animal makes it worth the drive. Any car guy should find a way to drive one of these beasts at some point in their lives.

I am absolutely convinced that I jacked up the finish on my car when I started using "quick detail" products instead of doing a proper wash. I realized that I'm just not patient and careful enough to properly use these products. Now I wait a few more days and wash using the two bucket method...

I bought one last November and love how quiet it is.

The engine in my Audi kicks out an insane amount of carbon. I tried many cleaners and polishes to keep the exhaust tips shiny. The best polish I found is Optimum Metal Polish. It makes the surface so "slippery" that the carbon washes off with the wash water I use for the rest of the car.

The first picture is the roof which doesn't have the kind of damage I see on the hood. The second picture is a paint "blob" that I applied many years ago to cover a rock chip. This was before I learned how to properly touch up a chip. It sounds like paint failure but it is odd how quickly the...

Can you open the pics now?

Sorry, I haven't figured out how to attach photos yet.

I noticed these defects on the hood of my '99 Grand Prix that seemed to appear suddenly. I know the condition of the paint isn't that great but these small scratches/cracks are only on the hood. The roof is also pictured as a reference-it doesn't have nearly as much damage.

I have the same problem. I boiled my waffle weaves with Oxiclean and was surprised how much contamination came out. A theory I have is that today's consumer washing machines just don't clean as well as a commercial machine. I quit using special cleaners and now just use Tide. I accept that...

I love boats and admire your courage to pilot a drag boat-a lot of drivers don't live to tell about their experiences!

I was looking for a single source supplier for my detailing products. I currently use Griot's partly because they are available at Advance. There's times when I want to feel and touch the product before buying it. I bought their drying towel this way and it works great. I've tried their products...
